J. Crew is having an early Cyber Sale right now. I had to share some favorites that are currently 50% off. Use code SHOPEARLY. I rounded up some of my favorite things that are included. Most of these are what I would consider staples!! There are some fun pieces too– but I think it’s a…
Things are really starting feel festive! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week? 2022 has flown by, right? We are going to have a great weekend here and then we head down to my parents’ house in Tampa for Thanksgiving. They’re hosting almost everyone (or maybe even everyone) from my dad’s side of the family. This…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! MY OWN ADVICE // I’m finally taking my own advice on work. Over the years I’ve helped a…
Today’s post is sponsored by Faherty– use code RIORDAN20 for 20% off your order for the next 72 hours! Welcome to the coziest blog post! I’ve been familiar with the Faherty brand before– we get the catalog after shopping in the Nantucket store a couple of summers ago. Mike’s friend had been raving about Faherty…
We had a pretty cozy week here (and you’ll probably be able to tell from my outfits!). I’m going to have to step it up for next week. I try not to repeat outfits for the week, but you can see that I apparently have a favorite sweater 😉 LAST WEEK’S WIN: Jack and I went…
The window on tartan is fairly short, and I try to make the most of it since it’s one of my favorite holiday prints. Although I tend to hold off on decorating for the holidays until the end of November, I will wear tartan all month long, ha! Sharing some cute tartan pieces that caught…
Sharing some fun Christmas gifts for guys in your life! They can be notoriously difficult to shop for but most of these products are either things Mike owns/loves or things I’ve gifted in the past. They’ve all been a hit and I feel confident recommending them. Starting with these Peter Millar Button Downs! I can’t…
Here’s the last two weeks according to my camera roll! I keep saying it so I’m sure I sound like a broken record but this has been my favorite fall ever. The leaves have been extra pretty and something about the lighting seems even more special. We’ve had a good mix of moody weather and…
Oh! 11/11/22! Feels like a good omen kind of day, right? This week has been a weird week– I think because I’m recovering from a lot of fun last week (laid it all out in Tuesday’s post!). I am usually rather affected by daylight savings and it was a little jarring to pick Jack up…
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
